Spread 0026 – My XL Moleskine – Completed!

Yes, the top photo is a photo of an XL Moleskine like the one I have been using, I could not finish my visual journal and leave the cover plain ole black. This is how it appears now. I can not guarantee it will stay that way, it seems to be missing something to me. I have one last spread to show you from this journal, it is actually drying as I type this, I think it is a splendid finish to this journal. I still have changes to make to this journal. The spine is broken and most of the journal is separate from the cover. I am going to rebind the journal and covers, with a LOT of help from Orly.

I feel so very proud to have finished this journal. It is big, fat, rich and thick with spreads. It’s all me and it’s priceless. Enjoy some photos:

And yes, I have started a new XL Moleskine journal. That spread is coming up soon as well. Enjoy!

Congratulations! Isn’t it fun to look at a finished book? And I suspect that if you aren’t quite satisfied that the cover will change at some point : ) Is this the journal you brought to PLAY? You’ve been busy! Take a bow Brian!

Oh yes, it’s fat, juicy, and telling a million very Brianish stories, but above all it’s EXCITMEMNT!!!!!!!!….AaaaaaaHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SOOOOOOOOOOOO exciting!!!!!!!!!!! The cover is just an awesome feast, what could be missing??? Absolutely NOTHING!!! Here is to worn and old and dignified treasure books and to new lawless one screaming: Soil meeeeeee!!!! XOXOrly

Congratulations on filling a book with beauty. Too bad it is “broken” but hopefully you can fix that. Have you ever tried altering a book instead? I love how bulky mine becomes without breaking. Just an idea to try too. Keep creating and thanks for sharing!

I came over from iHanna’s blog … and I am so glad I did! This is what I called a well loved, well thought of journal. Pure yummy-ness! I do love your journaling style … so I have added you to my reader! Can’t wait to see what else you do.
